Conservative commentator Candace Owens said she is embarrassed that she told people to vote for President Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election, calling him "a chronic disappointment."
"Are you done with Donald Trump?" British journalist Piers Morgan asked Owens during his YouTube show Tuesday. Owens responded she did not regret voting for Trump, but that "he has been a chronic disappointment." Owens added that she feels "embarrassed" that she asked people to vote for Trump last year.
“It’s all of the same rhetoric dating back to 9/11. All of the same tactic trying to smear people who are against this war as ‘jihadists,'” Owens said, before adding that the conflict between Israel and Iran was “simply not our business.”

“There was no imminent threat to the United States when Trump made this decision to do what Bibi [Israeli President Benjamin Netanyahu] wanted,” Owens said.
She continued: “This was not Trump’s decision. It was Bibi Netanyahu’s decision. And that is the reason that he did it. We’re very aware that Israel is dictating our foreign policy, and we’d now like that to stop.”
Several pro-Trump influencers have openly contradicted Trump on this matter.
One of Trump’s strongest allies in Congress, Rep. Marjorie Taylor-Greene (R-Ga.), is among those who have opposed U.S. military involvement in the Israel-Iran conflict.
